Devils discussion (news, notes and speculation) - 2026-27 offseason part III

[Forge]

He's going to be 39 in September.

Just means it's a bonus heavy, 1 year contract most likely.

Was nearly a ppg player last year. 54 points in 59 games. Would have been the Devils 4th leading scorer. Even had 31 points 5 on 5.


I don't think I would get super excited about signing him or anything, but if you get down to it, I don't think I'm likely to hate that signing either.

 

[Devils Trap]

Looks like Tuch is going to WSH as well. Thats 2 of our targets that I believe they are taking. Still dont think their C core is good enough but nice addition on the wing

 

[Devs3cups]

WSH loading up. Wow. It'll be a challenge to make the playoffs this year as well. Hopefully the boys are ready.

Washington is not what I expected.

 

[Devils Trap]

Tuch will sting depending on the deal he gets. I would have liked him but 8 x 10 or w/e it is would have hurt

I think his deal probably starts at Kempe's deal, which was what, 8 x 10.6 or something? I thought there would be some inflation if he hit the market, but assuming a sign and trade, it may work more in line with Kempe's

 

[MasterofGrond]

In for a penny, in for a pound if you're washington is smart GMing if you're committed to competing.

Canes showed you don't need insane centers to win.

Metro teams are getting better while we have yet to do shit to get better.

Then the team needs to be blown the f*** up if we fail to make it.

Does the third target’s name rhyme with Mason Holertson?

In fact, we've gotten worse on paper by removing Nemec.

Not sure if Sunny understood the dumpster fire he was inheriting.

We did not get worse on paper by moving the worst D in the sport 5 on 5 last year

Atleast what im told its Knies who Sunny really wants.

Kind of feels like Nemec could've been used in a Knies trade... Maybe the picks can be used? Interesting. I'm for Knies, he's a solid young player on a pretty good deal.

 

[Zacha37]

Would be thrilled with that outcome, just concerned we won't have what it takes compared to what other teams can offer. Hopefully the Nemec trade was made with the type of package Toronto is looking for in mind.

 

[Devils Trap]

Im sure there is interest in Jrob, I just dont think that they want to spend big money on a Top 6 forward. 14 million is TOUGH to navigate

Everything I hear about Knies from the media screams TOR just trying to bend a GM over to trade him. I dont know how available he is without a complete overpay

 

[Mgd31]

They should call up Winnipeg for Kyle Connor. Jack get on the group chat now

 

[Devils Trap]

Likely FAR to pricey for us here.,

CJ stalking me on hfboards confirmed

 

[longislanddevil]

I wonder just how feasible it is to get from 12OA to 2OA. I believe Stenberg is the best player in this draft and there’s a big benefit of having a player on a ELC.

San Jose still has glaring holes on their blueline. 12OA, 2027 1st, Hamilton and Hameenaho? Maybe add the 35OA if needed?

They're not

 

[Nico Hischier]

If he was really the worst D in the nhl then would he have gotten traded for multiple picks? I would think the worst D in the sport would be completely worthless.

Seems incredibly like alot for a team without that many assets

Hes young, so teams believe he has potential. Happens every year like David Jiricek - who equally sucks.

Its a brilliant move by Sunny to get value before it plummets

Its not going to be that challenging.

You people overreact to literally everything.
